Lesson 30: Jesus Is with Us in His Church
The Church is Jesus’ Mystical Body.
The Church is Jesus’ Mystical Body.
In order to live the good life we must cultivate not only the inner life of moral virtue, but the outer life by our participation in our communities, participation in the Sacraments, and instruction by those holy ones who came before us.
God breathes the breath of life into each of us and fills us with His Holy Spirit.
We study the history of the Church so that we can learn about our identity as Christians, why we are who we are, and to inform our future, built upon the successes, wisdom, and traditions of the past.
We must be humble and open to the Holy Spirit.
We can imitate the saints and be Jesus’ hands and feet in the world, making Jesus known to others through what we do.
Jesus taught us that He is the Bread of Life and that we must eat His Body and drink His Blood in order to have eternal life.
Believing in and loving God “with all our being has enormous consequences for our whole life” (CCC 222).
The pope and bishops are leaders of the Catholic Church, and they imitate Jesus’ example of service.
The Apostles preached the Good News throughout the ancient world, to Jew and Gentile alike.
The Church is God’s house, where His family dwells.
Jesus gave His Apostles authority to heal as He healed and to forgive sins as He forgave sins.
Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit after Him to teach us everything, to remind us of all that Christ said to us, and to bear witness to Him.
Jesus’ followers are called disciples, so we are also Jesus’ disciples.
Jesus fulfills the promises He made before He ascended, to help us follow Him to Heaven.
